Three nominees are running for the position of Director of "Khosrov
Forest" State Reserve - Manuk Manukyan, Gabriel Poghosyan and
Garnik Shaboyan. Ecolur, an informational NGO, says there isn't any
information available on their activities or professional background.
The position of Khosrov state reserve is one of the most discussed
topics in environmental society after its director and several
employees were dismissed last October following illegal hunting cases.
The cases were reported by the group of the environmentalist activists,
who found in the forest the evidence of the illegal hunting- remains
of killed animals listed in the Red Book of endangered species and
traces of bonfires and barbecue parties. The activists have applied
to police and a criminal case was launched.
The Khosrov Reserve is a conservation area in the Ararat region of
Armenia and hunting animals is punishable with a fine of up to $7,000.
